Filled my 4runner up for the first time, it only took 12.5gallons, tiny tanks on these things, how many miles should I expect on a tank? May have to think about gas cans or another tank for hunting trips?

Try searching around. There are a ton of mpg threads.

don't expect more then 14mpg. realistically. more like 10-12mpg

when my low fuel is on it takes 15-16 gallons to fill up and i avg around 20 mpgs overall.
i usually stop to fill at around 200 miles on the tank give or take cause i dont want to pump it to empty

well, filled it up once since posting this, got just over 16mpg, mostly city/driving to work (alot of idling to warm up), Im pretty happy! It has more power than I expected, and gets great mpg's! Just was curious what to expect.

Got about 215 miles to the last tank before it was near E

I was getting roughly 180 to 200 miles in my 82 until I yanked out the tiny 13 gallon tank and put in a 16 gallon one. Now I am getting about 250.

I fill mine at about 125 miles sometimes I push it to 130 miles but hate to take the chance.

Last time I figured the mileage it was around 10 mpg

22re-c, 93 ex-cab, 19.2 gal tank.

360-380 a tank, 20-24 mpg.

It seems as if most 3.0 5sp 4x4's get around 14-16mpg and the turd 3.0 auto 4x4 get 10-12 on the reg...mine got dead on 10mpg but I hope to double that with the v8.

i get no less then 27 and thats average i havent even done an all hiway .20r weber 32 36 perfect port and polish header with short ass exhaust and electric fan and it really hauls ass. i wonder what would happen if i put a aftermarket camshaft in it say a 268 or 270 does anyone no what will happen to power and more inportant gas mileage?????

MB4runner

On my auto 22re I would get 16-17 mpg

On my auto 3vze I get 12-13 mpg...

On my 5 speed 3vze with 35's I get 12-13 mpg

ThatGuy1295

Are you pulling a parachute?

bob200587

It's a little small so if you can't read it. It's 17.74 mpg average. That's 4.10 gears, manual, 22re, 31's. If I got new gears I'm sure I could do better.

Best MPG was just over 21, worst was 13ish.

I've been keeping these records for 37,000 miles and 6 years. Never missed a tank.

Guess I should add, that with the correction for the larger tires I get roughly 250-280 per tank. If I run down until the fuel light comes on and stays on I can get 16 gallons in it.

my 84 with 529s and 36s gets about 255 highway on a tank

I have an 89 Toyota pickup with the 3.0 engine.

I rock 32" tires and a 4" body lift

Gas tank is 16 gallons total
...and i get 23 HW and 15 in town.

A few factors:
Ditch your AC!
Drive like an angel
Routine checkups (myself)

I guess i have a hard time figuring out why everyone else is getting 16mpg highway with this engine. Mine towed an 87 dodge pickup 78 miles up and down the rocky mtns. Got 18 hw still and faired well on the inclines. Maybe I got lucky? Lol. Elevation? 7000+
